Phreaky's Intimate Grow Journal

Hello fellow stoned people, welcome and thanks for stopping by.

I have been growing in my long, narrow closet for the last two grows, and have recently got my third grow up and running.
In my previous seasons I made almost every mistake one could logically make in growing herb, and still wound up with some really choice buds.
I have tried growing bearded dragon, purple kush, shiva skunk, and mendo purps successfully, and now the kush and the last budding mendo purps remain (i have a mom for the kush).
This link is to my past grows: LINK
This is my smoke report of them: LINK


But now two new players have entered the scene: White Widow, and Trainwreck! So, here's the plan...

Using only soil (mostly ocean forest) I will be perpetually growing purple kush, trainwreck, and white widow, while the last mendo purps flowers.
I'm using grow big for veg, flora nova for bloom, and dark energy+supernova+molasses+humic acid all at diff times usually.

Some bigger plants might be in 3gal pots, smaller in 1.5gal. I have the m. purps in a 7-8ish gallon pot just for fun.
Each perpetual generation will contain 3 plants, 1.5 weeks apart, roughly. I won't strictly follow the plan, i think, as I may just want to fill up the whole closet and keep some mother plants.

If you havent already figured out im the lazy and unorganized stoner type, heres your sign...

Right now I have one PK budding (was my second mother plant) and the last Mpurps. I just put in three more kushs in the flowering room, and three more are to follow soon.
everything else is in veg now, i'm not really too picky about height differences between the plants.

As to the Pics:
the first and second pics are from my past grows, a bearded dragon and a PK, respectively.
the third pick is of some random clones, and a succulent...
the rest of the pics are of the mendo purps plant, my personal favorite so far. Story:

This Mpurps plant was purchased for my first grow from a club in SF. I chose this one to remain as a mother plant, and treated it like a total bitch from then on. I topped that thing severely, trimmed it back brutally, and generally bullied it in every way. after many months of recovery and TLC, it boomed right back and is the proud owner of at least 15 full-on tops. I staked it up, and it flowered from transplant shock. now its 1 months away from completion, roughly!

So here's the deal... I'm gonna get some more pics up as I go, and tonight. All comments are highly appreciated, and advice is well needed. If you are reading this, then at least say hello. :peace:

I like the growth pattern on that Bearded Dragon. Did you FIM or top that plant? Which seed company did it come from?

Yeah phreakygoat, hello I'm watchin'.
good to have you bro, cheers.

thanks, I'm very proud of how awesomely that plant ended up (if only it was twice the size). that seed came from some crazy weed my girlfriend got from her old dealer, the gram bag had about 20 seeds. it hermed out, which could have been my fault, or the strain... all i did to get that growth structure was pinch slightly under the growth tip three different times, the bottom branches just shot the fuck up!

so today i transplanted two trainwrecks and a kush into their final home, i'll give them a week or two of veg till they flower. I think i will go perpetual, generations of three or six different plants of whatever strain is ready at the time. all plants are now in soil, i wont be caring for clones until my mothers are pumping them out! anyone had any experience with trainwreck, as in yeild and training? :peace:

I've never grown TW myself, but I've assisted a friend's closet grow with 6 TW's.
He did a soil grow using 4gal. pots (15 Liters) under 2x 400W.
All his plants were lollipopped and topped, he just told me through msn that he yielded about 70 grams/ TW (about 2.5oz.) some more some less.
For a smoke test I can give you a rundown myself... Very hashy, fruity but was a bit tough on the throat.. I'm not sure, but I think he should have flushed a bit more, or it's because it only cured for 7 days when I tested it..
But it was a nice stoner for sure I think I remember.

Hey Goat,

Wasssup Man. I tried this link before and I thought I went to your last grow...Oh well I am here now. Lookin good. I can tell you my experiences with those two new strains you have. WW is a fuckin tree. The older it gets the harder it is to bend. Start training early if you want it bent. Train wreck you can bend and twist all you want. It exploded in my aero unit and the stalks are still flexible 4 weeks into flower.

WW is the stoniest (if thats a word) weed I ever smoked. I can't wait for the TW.

Good luck my friend.

What's up cruz, glad to see you make it. man that WW is just healthy as shit, guess it loves miracle grow! i'm gonna start pinching it now then, that should get some sweet widow bushs ready. The TW is going a little slower, but I'm going to try budding trainwrecks of all different sizes to see where the golden yield lies, haha. :peace: bro, stick around.

whatsup dude, thanks for the advice. I've been thinking about getting white rhino, think i might head over to your thread, see how it does. thats a pretty sweet yield your buddy got, i hope i'm as lucky with it. trainwreck is one of my 3 favorite strains (TW, pkush, SShaze) so i look forward to my own attempt. +rep to you sir.


now, heres a few new pics i've been lagging on... the first one shows two TW and a kush in veg. the second and third pics are kushs that are flowering, and the last two are mendo purps!
adios:bigjoint:

much appreciated...

this morning i moved the second kush mother into the flowering closet, my kush clones are so healthy i can make a bomb mom out of any of them. the widow is getting taller (all 3 are exactly the same height oddly), and the TW is slowly catching up.

the setup in my closet feels comfortable now, I'll stick with this formula:
rotating crops of 3 going in to the tray (fits 9), and the floorspace to both let them finish (on risers) and flower another giant plant hopefully. if not i'll use the space for more little plants. I have the 600w in the center of the closet now, and i'm pretty happy with the space i'll have to grow. wont be long until i can afford a place with way more space for the nuggage. :peace:

Yea those widows were all taken from the best ww I had.
They should all grow the same rate.

Cant say the same for the TW.
But all those females grew about the same anyway.

By the way, you can top all those early without side effects.
I tried it.

the ww is so vigorous, im not surprised. i prolly wont top, i might even just go SOG even. if not, then just pinching.

I've heard TW was rough on the throat too but I think I might give it a go next time around.

thanks for stopping by boneman, i hope you'll stick around for my learning's sake.

honestly tw is one of my favorites both for flavor and esp. for the uplifting glory high! i have heard it has an underwhelming yield, but so does Pkush, and that hasn't slowed me down... i don't know if i'd suggest the strain just yet, i haven't been all too psyched with its vigor. i guess we'll see.

How long have ur krush's been flowering for mate? lookin good
thanks ds, glad to have you here. the big(ger) kush was put in to flower about a week before i started this thread, the same time the big mendo was as well. last night i put my other big kush mom in the closet, she's the same height as the now-budding kush is (so it'll be a little bigger than the 1st mom). i'll have some pics asap. cheers

when you are a poor student like me, its pretty damn nice to have a big yielder! so thats why i never only grow one strain, I always have both worlds in my closet. i will never not grow kush, it has the perfect smell/taste/potency/etc... yield be damned!
